Autumn Themes

 There seem to be lots of Autumn themed challenges around at the moment so I brought out some of my leafy dies to see what I could come up with.  In actual fact I wouldn't call this an Autumnal card because it's just a CAS one using a single leaf die with a scrap (snippet) of card out of my bits box.  It was only a small piece and I think it was probably coloured using Pixie Powders, some of which include mica for a bit of glimmer.  I cut a square of card to fit the card blank and used a cutting die to emboss, followed by cutting a couple of frames using two smaller sized dies from the set.  One of the fall-out circles was embossed with an embossing folder and the leaf simply added to the centre.  I still have quite a few leaf dies to play with so hopefully there will be some more suitably coloured cards to follow, watch this space 😉


Circles - Pierced circle dies from Creative Expressions 
Embossing Folder - from my collection but not named on the actual folder
Leaf - from Tim Holtz Sizzix Artsy Leaves die set
